You call that a Pad .... NOW THAT''S A PAD!!

[Gailey]

So it''s Sunday morning in the Gailey household. Mr Gailey is upstairs glued to the Carling Cup Final (Soccer). I''m cuddled up on the sofa with my toast and peanut butter, Corrie is on the TV and I think I''ll just go back on to e-bay and look at that lovely pink topaz from Lembeck Gems I saw yesterday.

AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!

It''s been such a big Pad week on PS. Once I saw this stone, I couldn''t help thinking we should finish off the week with some serious eye candy. It would be lovely to think that this magnificent stone will end up on a PS finger, but even if it doesn''t we can all appreciate it for a while.

I wonder if Mr Lembeck takes Green Sheild Stamps?

I''ve put two images into a collage, so fingers crossed it posts ok!

I guess it''s already mounted in a setting... wish they could show a better picture of it.

Holy moly. I am beginning to see why you guys are so over the moon for the gemstone whose name I can never pronounce!

[Gailey]

Do you think Linda has seen it?

I''m worried - I think she''s taken one look and fainted, fell and hit her head on something hard.

Quick, someone get over there and revive her!!

hey, the bay charges fees hence the higher price. my only critique of this Pad, my personal gripe, is that it is not VS quality.

the gubelin cert (as with GIA does not list clarity). it''s the kind of stone that when a dealer is buying it gets classified SI and when it''s offered for sale it becomes VS.

but truthfully, under 10 x examination, it''s SI.

keep in mind there are Pads that show no pink and there are Pads that are super saturated pink looking medium dark tone and with no strong orange (salmon). very confusing sometimes. those stones should be certed. the classic pads are more easily identified.

i did business with old man arnstein. his grand kid mike of natural sapphire knows his pads.
